China’s auto insurance development process

One, China’s insurance industry in the history of the development 

Early Qing Dynasty China and the previous few years, due to the natural environment, economic conditions and long-term centralized rule, a decision could not have ancient China as Western countries to establish such a modern insurance system, until the late Qing Dynasty imperialist invasion, the only Western insurance system into China . From the Opium War broke out, China reduced semifeudal and semicolonial society, foreign insurance companies to enter China, and has been in China’s insurance market dominant position. In old China, the nation

Although the insurance industry has developed, but has not been able to free themselves from foreign domination of the insurance company. After New China was founded, the situation changed radically, foreign insurance companies monopoly status has been completely shattered, but after rectification and development, regression and tortuous process. Until the Third Plenum of the 11th Party, the country’s reform and opening up policies that made China’s insurance industry usher in a new period of development.

(1) Old China’s insurance industry 

In China, the budding insurance Although very early, but in the modern sense, with commercial insurance British imperialist invasion and the economic input. In the past the Opium War in 1840, the Qing government to pursue the “closed door” policy, foreign trade is limited to one in Guangzhou. In 1805, China’s trade operators of British businessmen established in Guangzhou the “Guangzhou insurance societies”, which is established in China with foreign insurance companies first. In 1835, British businessmen in Hong Kong, “security companies.” After the outbreak of the Opium War, in 1842 the Qing government ceded Hong Kong to Britain, the imperialist capital importation to China as a major economic aggression means. From the 19th century the 1970s, the British began in Shanghai Yangtze insurance companies, the Chinese insurance companies, solar companies, the Rambler insurance companies. 

China’s first insurance company in the city in 1876 is the establishment of the China Merchants charities and insurance companies, and this is China’s first national capital companies. In 1878 and set up a relief and insurance companies. These two companies merged in 1885 to Yan Chai and insurance companies underwriting China Merchants all vessels, warehouse and cargo transport, which is China’s insurance sector now recognized China’s first national capital insurance companies, marking China’s national insurance industry start. 

World War I in 1914, after the outbreak of war in the imperialist countries are busy, temporarily relaxed to China’s economic aggression, therefore, China’s industrial and commercial enterprises to rapid development and the resulting insurance to the more pressing needs. At that time, foreign insurance companies in China in addition to security, the Yangtze part of the two companies also continue to stay in business outside Shanghai and the rest are at the closure of the basic state. At this time, the United States abroad Insurance Association established in China, the United States formed a dozen large foreign insurance companies operating groups. To meet the insurance needs of China in 1916 established the environmental insurance companies, insurance companies and Watson Yongning insurance companies, in 1917 established a Wing On insurance companies, a preliminary form of Chinese private insurers camp. Due to weak capital strength, business scope and wide, external little impact. 

Before the founding of New China in the development of China’s insurance industry’s heyday in the 20th century to the 1930s, Shanghai, China and the Far East as the largest financial and insurance centers. According to historical records, the Western capitalist countries in order to shift their domestic economic crisis, China is dumping large quantities of surplus supplies. China’s national industry and commerce difficult for the enterprises to develop the follow-up funds, businesses have to goods and materials as collateral to secure bank loans. To protect the borrower in borrowing during disasters and accidents suffered economic losses when their ability to repay loans, the banks generally require mortgage insurance to be property. In addition, as the first revolutionary war, the Mainland rich merchants have taken refuge in Shanghai with money, causing liquidity soars in Shanghai, and to the banking and insurance industry concentration. These two factors make the 1930s the financial industry in Shanghai showed unprecedented economic prosperity. According to statistics, Shanghai in China before 1937 175 private insurance companies, foreign insurance companies about 50, the premium income of foreign insurance companies only 1 / 10. At that time the country for the annual premium income of 30 million paper currency, foreign or approximately 60%, but China’s private insurance companies to 70% to foreign reinsurance, the actual premium of just over 300 million paper currency. The vast majority of Chinese private companies to become agents of foreign insurance companies, large premium income of foreign insurance companies into the pockets. It can be said that before liberation of the Chinese insurance market, foreign insurance companies at the monopoly, not only in the original insurance market rates and terms for foreign monopoly, and almost all in the hands of foreign companies in China’s reinsurance market. 

Before the liberation, the development of the insurance industry to be another reason why the old Bank of China’s bureaucratic capital continued involvement of the insurance industry. In November 1931 the Bank of China set up a funded insurance companies in China; In 1933 China established insurance postal remittance, using its nationwide network to sell insurance products, franchised simple personal insurance; In October 1935, the Central Bank allocated to the capital from the Central Trust of China established the Insurance Department; 1941 the Agricultural Bank of China, the establishment of China’s agricultural insurance company; in 1943, the Bank established a Pacific Insurance. These bureaucratic capital through the establishment of the insurance companies, not only has the advantages of capital, but on the business and bureaucratic With inextricably linked and made high profits. For example, the Central Trust of China Insurance Department in October 1937 by the KMT commissioned by the Ministry of Finance official cover “transport soldiers and dangerous” (1940 to “transport soldiers in wartime risk), due to move into the property of war materiel provided economic security. Japanese aircraft bombed frequently, the “wartime transport soldiers risk “rates higher, the highest 10%. in December 1939 the Ministry of Finance again KMT commissioned Mutt manager for the Department of Insurance “wartime soldiers dangerous land,” their underwriting are mostly factories and warehouses, and some designated shops, ferry and other important facilities for the aircraft bombing, shooting , air and air defense artillery and spy, spy throwing bombings, arson damaged as a result of the compensation for property losses. the basic rate of 4%, these are his goal of the Department of Insurance has brought a large number of the profits. As of 1942, only two on this to bring his goal of the 76.583 million yuan premium income. some other national banks have some capital has begun to enter the insurance industry, such as Kincheng opened fire Taiping insurance companies, but these companies regardless of size or capital in the business are in the weak position. 

(2) After New China was founded in China in the insurance industry developments 

The birth of the People’s Republic of China opened a new era in Chinese history, China has opened a new chapter in the history of insurance, the insurance industry into the development of the socialist track for the cause of building socialism and the people’s welfare services. 

The development of new China’s insurance industry, the first is consolidating and transforming the old Chinese insurance industry and the insurance market began. 1949

After the liberation of Shanghai in May in Shanghai technocrats to take over the Committee of Finance and Economy Office, established under an insurance group that is responsible for taking over the bureaucratic capital of insurance institutions and management of private insurance companies. The total time taken over the bureaucratic capital of insurance institutions 21, the implementation of the Commissioner of two. The private insurance industry was re-registered and paid into the bond, after approval to resume business. Then resume the Chamber of 63 insurance companies, 42 foreign insurance companies. Before compared with merchants to reduce the insurer 2 / 3, foreign insurance decreased by 1 / 3, to eliminate a lot of speculative companies. On June 20, 1949, China resumed the insurance business, in going through foreign reinsurers. After the Cabinet approved the Financial and Economic Committee, the People’s Insurance Company of China on October 20, 1949 in Beijing set up, a sign that the new Chinese insurance industry from the development began. 

To revitalize the national economy, China stipulated by the insurance company separate external reinsurance business, it is because the Chinese insurance company’s internal organization and systems and insurance strong technical force, and with a number of foreign institutions. On foreign investment in insurance companies to take the first step to promote their joint ventures, with 47 companies participated in the “NLD reinsurance Exchange Office,” This will cut off its foreign companies and the reinsurance relationship. With state-owned foreign trade system and the new customs established by the State recruited foreign trade, foreign insurance companies fail to recruit business, the closure of all applications, to the end of 1952 and early 1953 are 28 private companies engaged in the composition of a joint peace and 36 insurance companies, in 1956 that two insurers merged into Taiping insurance companies, overseas franchise business. 

The establishment of the People’s Insurance Company of China, its main operating business is fire insurance, and transportation insurance, coastal ports and transport soldiers also underwriting risk, and stressed the insurance must be combined with fire. Meanwhile, the old insurance system has made a series of reforms, the revision of the insurance policy, to expand the scope of the insurance responsibilities, lower rates and simplify the procedure. On February 3, 1951 the Central People’s government formally promulgated by the Democratic People’s Republic “of the state organs and state-owned enterprises, cooperatives and property insurance compulsory visitors compulsory insurance decision.” The national economic recovery period, the Chinese People’s Insurance Company ran the group and individual life insurance, the State organs and state-owned enterprises and property insurance compulsory passenger accident insurance, insurance and transportation of materials for transport of cotton purchase insurance. Entered a “five-year plan”, the People’s Insurance Company of China in the sector was restructured and streamlined, and to implement the voluntary principles for the agricultural insurance business, closed a part of the compulsory insurance, and the consolidation of business on the basis of the pilot some new business. In January 1958 to convene the sixth meeting of the National Insurance Work Conference, decided “to actively rural insurance for livestock insurance, focusing on the pilot crop insurance, urban business to actively develop personal insurance and property of citizens insurance, the state-owned enterprises continue to operate the property of compulsory insurance and transportation insurance.”

Also decided at that time except compulsory insurance business travelers insurance delegated to the provinces and cities all operate independently, self-financing. 

According to statistics, from 1949 to 1958 the 10-year period, all kinds of premium income totaled 1.6 billion yuan, a total of 380 million yuan to pay compensation, in addition to the state, the accumulation of 400 million yuan of insurance funds, allocated 23 million yuan prevention costs, the balance of the funds are deposited in banks, as credit - the use. During this period, the cause of socialism insurance made gratifying achievements, the completion of the private insurance industry task of the socialist transformation, the country has set up a relatively complete socialist insurance system, the establishment of a universal insurance agencies, the enactment of new regulations, restoration and operation of many businesses , and trained a large number of insurance cadres, and with the majority of the world’s countries and regions to establish direct or indirect relations and the division of damage, loss vessel inspection agent relationships. However, as founder of the socialist experience in the insurance industry inadequate conduct insurance business in the process made some missteps, such as the implementation of the principle of voluntary insurance enough, in order to complete business goals, once in some rural compulsory insurance, the central halt after only will be corrected. 

Due to the positive role of insurance awareness in 1958 of the National People’s Commune upsurge mistaken belief that “a sophomore public,” and the old invalidity of Health and disasters from all national and collective packets down, the insurance in China has completed its historic mission.

In October 1958 in Xi’an held a national work meeting of Finance and Trade’s decision to suspend the domestic insurance business, foreign insurance business into China for foreign Bureau, the establishment is set at 30. Visitors 14871 respectively to the railway, civil aviation and transportation departments captive. Domestic insurance nationwide closure of 20 of the results, and information on a large number of separated and widened the gap with foreign countries, which was later restored when the insurance business, insurance has become a must rescue subjects. Long-term insurance business was discontinued for many reasons, the historical reason is the economic management system and the “left” approach to economic and subjective reasons for the in-depth study is not the socialist theory insurance, without insurance socialist theory to ascertain the nature, status and role. 

The Third Plenum of the 11th Party and after restoration of order, in 1979 the National People’s Bank branches session to resume domestic insurance institutions and operations. Approved by the State Council, domestic insurance business from 1980 onwards resume, which makes China’s insurance was born.

According to the State Council, China People’s Insurance Company since January 1, 1984 onwards separated from the People’s Bank of China, directly under the State Council as a separate bureau level of economic entities. In 1985 the State Council promulgated the “Provisional Regulations on the management of insurance companies,” the People’s Insurance Company of China and the nature of business activities and provided for the establishment of a multi-level system of insurance provided.

Since the resumption of domestic insurance business, domestic and foreign insurance business has developed rapidly. In October 1986, the restoration of China’s first integrated a joint-stock banks — the Bank of Communications opened shortly after its branches in Shanghai launching insurance business, thereby breaking China’s insurance market exclusive business situation. In April 1991, formed the China Pacific Insurance Company. In March 1988, approved by the People’s Bank of China, Shenzhen China Merchants Shekou Industrial Zone and other units set up the joint venture China’s first joint-stock insurance companies — Ping’an Insurance, in September 1992, the company changed its name to China Ping’an Insurance, regional operators to expand the country, as I ARTICLE 3 national, comprehensive insurance companies. The 20th century 90

After that, the insurance market has developed rapidly, Volkswagen, Wa, Xinhua, Taikang, China and Thailand is one of the national or regional professional insurance companies to enter the insurance market. In 1992, Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s southern tour of the important speech made by China’s reform and opening up a new situation, the insurance industry began opening up. “American International Group”, a subsidiary of insurance company American International Assurance (AIA) and Japan’s Tokyo Marine Fire insurance companies and more foreign insurance companies operating in China allowed.

Pay-risk insurance and select a three essential differences

tagged and

Compulsory motor vehicle accident insurance ( “TAC - risk”) and the consumers are familiar with the motor vehicle third party liability insurance (that is, “three responsibilities and dangerous”) in the types of insurance the same one lives were road traffic accident victims third parties to obtain timely and effective compensation types. Pay-only insurance is a statutory mandatory, in fact be called “mandatory three select and dangerous”, and three of the past are responsible for insurance commercial.

Pay-insurance and commercial insurance in three select the principle of compensation, compensation, etc. There is an essential distinction

1, 3 select commercial risk is the fault of the principle of the responsibility, according to the insurance company that insured the accident which bear the responsibility for the accident to determine its liability. Transport strong risk for a “no-fault liability” principle, regardless of whether the insured person responsible for the traffic accident, the insurance company will be in the 60,000 yuan within the limits of liability compensation.

2, for effective control of risk that the commercial risk provisions select three more responsibility for the matter and remove Mianpeilu: (turnover). Transport-risk liability insurance cover almost all road traffic risks, and are not based Mianpeilu: deductible, the scope of protection is far greater than three select commercial risk.

Three, three commercial insurance is responsible for the purpose of profit, the commercial insurance business. Pay-risk and not for profit purposes, the company engaged in pay-risk operations will be implemented with other commercial insurance business separate management, separate accounts, regardless of profit and loss, do not participate in the distribution of benefits, the company has actually played a role in a charge d’affaires.

4, the three companies responsible for commercial insurance rates in terms of mutual differences, with 50,000, 100,000, 200,000 or even one million yuan over the different grades of liability limits. Transport strong risk of liability limits of national reunification of six million, and the implementation of a uniform nationwide insurance terms and rates based.

If consumers pay 60,000 yuan-risk unable to meet their own security needs, through voluntary purchase of commercial insurance select three ways. Three select commercial insurance products and not with reference to the emergence of strong, dangerous and disappear from the market, the two are mutually exclusive.

The purchaser how to buy a new car insurance

tagged , and

The purchase of a car, more and more people familiar with the new procedures but not people, more than a few owners of the club for their choice of insurance often loss. The face of the numerous types of insurance premiums in different insurance companies, how to go about choosing the most suitable for their vehicle insurance products? This year, the insurance market some new regulations published, the owner had to choose the types of inputs and whether there are changes? I recently interviewed a member of the profession, how to choose new address both the economy can be fully protected insurance products for the advisory.

■-risk must pay to buy

Involved in automobile insurance Fengxiaojie said that under the “motor vehicle accident mandatory insurance”, from July 1, 2006, all new vehicles and insurance due to the renewal of vehicles must buy pay-risk vehicles. Private cars premiums for 1,050 yuan, 1,000 yuan for enterprises, institutions, government organs to 950 yuan, the insurance company will be based on vehicle sales invoices judgment.

Because most of the corresponding car driver greenhorn, a relatively high rate of escape from danger, so insurers are generally unwilling to provide significant discounts for new cars. But those involved doctors, journalists, bank employees, civil servants and so on the specific work of professional staff, the insurance company that their escape from danger rate will be lower than ordinary cars, it will also have certain concessions, discounts are below 8%.

■ new types should be “perfectionist”

In addition to national compulsory purchase of the hand-risk, the new owners need to buy some essential business types, including Ohio, three select insurance, sickness, car insurance and other personnel.

The price of 15 million vehicles for example, the people in Ohio for 2,956 yuan, three dangerous owners can select according to their needs, choose 50,000, 100,000, 150,000, 200,000 different amount. Three select insurance under the different models, the higher the premium vary, the most common of the following six passenger cars, the amount of 50,000, the premium is usually around 800 yuan; The insured amount of 100,000, around 1,100 yuan premiums; The insured amount of 150,000, around 1,200 yuan premiums. Paula is based on the price of the vehicle insured for the conversion price of 150,000 cars premiums for about 900 yuan. Besides your purchase of a new car to attract the attention of passersby, but also attracted the attention of thieves, it is proposed insured luck, of course, if a car parking place of good security measures, in your opinion, safe and reliable, we can also consider not insured. Board staff more dangerous vehicle five individuals in accordance with the terms, the amount of 5,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan two, the premium of 100 yuan, 200 yuan.

■ buy additional types of discretion

Owners can also his own car on the actual conditions and use of targeted select additional risk. Those categories include : broken glass separate insurance, risk scratch, excluding insurance and other two systems. If your club frequented traffic chaos to the market, the club Scratched paintwork becomes easy to finish, you can consider buying a scratch risk. If the club had parked in the car park adjacent to construction sites, there are often flying in the small stones, your windshield also is not cheap, it is recommended that you separate the insured risk a broken glass, in order to avoid economic losses. In addition, the hot summer weather, prone to spontaneous combustion vehicle, you ample economic conditions in the case of spontaneous combustion can also buy insurance, so as to be prepared.

To remind everyone that the new novice inevitable squabbling, the frequency of incidents are relatively high, therefore, insurance experts recommend the owner, if it is used to purchase installments of a new car, you must request by the acquisition of all-risk insurance; If you are using all the means to buy a new car, you the who is a novice in order to cut losses, in addition to considering the purchase of spontaneous loss risk all of the insured contents.

■ small insurance companies to election

In determining the selection of the types and availability of concessions, the purchase of 62.69 in the process of how to choose insurance companies, the purchase process should also pay attention to what issues? The industry proposal, if your car is a new one, but the price is relatively high, the big companies can choose 62.69. Because of the more high-end cars, repair costs are also higher, in the event of accident, that may put greater pressure on the economy, while big corporations relative to the amount paid will be higher, sentinel maintenance plants have a relatively high level.

However, the premiums paid, in general, the same models and types of large companies than small companies premiums high. If your car is old, or the price is not high, the cost of repairs will not be very expensive, and your driving skills are more mature, small companies choose more worthwhile.

Also, experts remind policyholders, if you go out to the trucks by 2006, then they should try to choose like people in a safe so big insurance companies to insurance, because the insurance companies have branches throughout the country, encountered trouble immediately on the ground for determining loss, such as the loss adjuster. Moreover, experts suggest that the insured 62.69 owners should not just focus on price, should combine their own cars to the actual situation to decide, for example, whether by 2006, the designated person driving, integrated escape from danger by the services they need.

Car insurance the basic principles

tagged , and

Auto insurance process, we should follow the basic principles of insurance law is the basic principle that the insurance law embodies the spirit and essence of the basic principles it is based on the insurance legislation, the insurance activities must adhere to the guidelines. Insurance law is a fundamental principle of insurance law adopted by the specific provisions to achieve, and the Insurance Act to the specific provisions must comply with the requirements of basic principles. 

One, insurance and disaster prevention detract from the principle of combining 

Insurance fundamentally speaking, is a risk management system, for the purpose of risk management to prevent or reduce the risk of accidents and dangerous incidents caused the loss narrowed to a minimum, resulting in the insurance and disaster prevention derogation from the principle of combining.

(1) insurance and disaster prevention on the principle of combining

This principle will apply mainly to the insurance before the accident occurred prior prevention. According to this principle, insurance underwriting side should responsibility for the risk management of its specific contents include : investigation and analysis of the subject of the insurance risk, according to the insured made reasonable proposals prompted insured party to take preventive measures and carry out supervision and inspection; Insured parties to provide the necessary technical support common improving preventive measures and equipment; on different sides of the insured differential rate system to encourage them to strengthen the management of dangerous incidents that the accident less reputable side, to reduce insurance premiums are available; Instead, such as raising premiums. Following this principle, the insured parties should abide by relevant state fire, safety, production operations, labor protection and other aspects of the initiative to safeguard the security of insurance subject to fulfill all, the manager is the bounden duty; Meanwhile, according to the insurance contract, perform risk notification obligations. 

(2) insurance and detract from the principle of combining 

This principle will apply mainly to the insurance after the accident occurred after the derogation. According to this principle, if the accident occurred insurance, the insured parties should do their utmost to rescue actively avoid the accident spread, extending losses escape from danger and to protect the scene and promptly reported to the insurer. And the insurance side by assuming the rescue, and other reasonable expenses to meet their obligations. 

Second, the principle of utmost good faith 

Insurance special relationship between the people in the insurance practice of growing importance of the principle of good faith, ask the parties to the contract to maximize compliance with this principle, it says the principle of utmost good faith. Specifically request that the parties did not conceal the fact that not each other of fraud, with the utmost integrity to fully implement their respective obligations, the other side to ensure the realization of the right. The principle of good faith is the largest contract both parties must adhere to the basic principles, its performance for the following areas : 

(1) To fulfill this obligation either truthfully

It is the largest of the principle of good faith requirements of the insured. As the face of the general insurance policy holders is impossible to understand the subject of insurance, and therefore, the insurance policy holders, should be enough to affect the insurance underwriting to decide whether or not, can affect insurers determine insurance rates or increase the special provisions of the insurers to accurately inform . Insurance practice generally limited to single-insured, the insured single questioned the contents of the insured must be filled out accurately, in addition to the insured does not assume any tell this obligation. 

Intentionally or insured by the fault does not faithfully fulfill this obligation to bear the corresponding legal consequences, including insurance can thus lifting insurance contracts; If the accident occurred insurance, insurers such as the right to refuse payment. 

(2) Note to fulfill obligations 

This is the greatest insurance for the principle of good faith on the request. Because the insurance contract by the insurer prior development, said policyholders only the choice to accept or not, usually lack insurance policyholders knowledge and experience, therefore, concluded an insurance contract, the insured person to be insured under the contract terms. Insurance for the general terms of the contract, insurers note should fulfill obligations. The insurance contract for exemption from liability, insurers should be clear obligations to fulfill, not clearly define the responsibility not to remove the provisions to take effect. 

(3) To fulfill obligations to ensure the swift currents

Here’s a guarantee, and refers to insurance policyholders who pledge to comply with the insurance act or omission of certain rules or guarantee the authenticity of a particular issue, and that is what the principle of utmost good faith to policyholders requirements. 

The insurance guarantees there are two kinds of explicit assurance that the terms of insurance contracts in the form of the insurance contract, to express it. If motor vehicle insurance have to comply with traffic regulations, safe driving and vehicle maintenance and do maintenance work provisions, once the agreement takes effect, it is an insurance policy holders the right to ensure that policyholders have to act or omission binding. Another is a tacit assurance that such assurances in terms of the insurance contract did not arise often prevalent in the community or recognized code of conduct for certain criteria, as this will ensure that policyholders act or omission of the commitment, and are thus implied. If additional property insurance theft insurance contracts, although not expressly provided by the insurers when they go out the doors and windows should be closed, but it is common sense should be done under the act, which recognized the common sense, it is an implicit guarantee that the reason people become insurance underwriting basis, so that people are not insured Close doors and windows are incurred in the thefts, insurance does not assume liability insurance.
(4) abstained and the prohibition of defense 

This is the greatest insurance for the principle of good faith on the request. The so-called abstaining, means insurers to abandon legal or insurance contracts of certain rights, such as the right to refuse coverage, lifting insurance contracts rights. The so-called no defense, and abstained close [AFP]

[AFP]

Links are the means insurers now renounced that right, not to the insured person or beneficiary again advocated such a right. 

3, insurance interests 

China’s “Insurance Act” Article 11 states : “The subject of insurance policyholders should have insurance benefits. On the subject of insurance policyholders do not have the interests of insurance, insurance contracts invalid. Insurance benefits is the subject of insurance policyholders have the legal recognition of their interests. “Under this provision, Major insurance benefits has two implications : First, the insured insured, the insurance must be marked

With insurance benefits, and insurance may become a form of gambling, losing their economic loss compensation, to provide financial help function. Secondly, whether the insurance interests of the insurance contract to judge the validity or invalidity of the fundamental basis, the lack of insurance benefits Elements of the insurance contract, they will naturally become legally effective. 

(1) property insurance benefits 

Property insurance is the subject property and its related interests, the interests of its insurance policyholders is the insurance is the subject of legal recognition of the economic benefits. Property insurance interests should have three elements : 

(1) It must be legally recognized and protected the legitimate interests. 

(2) It must be economic interests. 

(3) It must be determined by the economic interests. 

(2) Personal insurance benefits 

Personal insurance is the subject of the life and physical, its insurance benefits to policyholders is insured by the life and health of the economy is at stake. “Insurance Act” section 52 provides that can be drawn, personal insurance interests with the following characteristics : 

(1) the legal recognition and protection of personal relationship. 

(2) personal property relations with the contents. 

(3) constitute insurance interests are economic interests. 

Economic stakes Although it is impossible to estimate with money, but insured and the insurance contract insurance, they can agree to the amount determined. 

Insurance interests in the insurance contract formation, the process of implementation, there are different applicable requirements. Property insurance, policyholders should be insured at the right insurance is the subject of insurance benefits; After the establishment of the contract, the insured person may object to the sale of insurance, transfer, gift, inheritance and change the situation, therefore, when the accident occurred insurance, the insured person should be subject to insurance with insurance interests, whether insurance policyholders interests are irrelevant. Personal insurance, the insured, the insured must be insured with the insurance interests, as regards accident insurance, the insured still have insurance interests, irrelevant. 

4, damages the principles 

This is a unique property insurance principle means that the insurance after the accident, the insured person within its sphere of responsibility of the insured person’s actual loss for the principle of compensation. Its contents are mainly in the following points : 

(1) compensation insurance in the areas of responsibility, namely insurance only in the insurance contract within the time limit to the amount of insurance agreed to limit the right agreed in the contract of dangerous incidents compensation for the loss. Insurance period, the amount of insurance and liability insurance constitutes compensation insurance were the indispensable elements. 

(2) the amount of compensation should be equal to the actual amount of loss. In accordance with the norms of civil compensation should be equal and loss, the insured person can receive from the insurance on the additional interests and insurers is the amount of compensation, insurance is only subject to the amount of actual loss. In other words, insurers should be just compensation insurance subject to insurance recovery accident occurred before the state. 

(3) loss of the insurer’s obligations. Accordingly, the proposed insurance claims, the insurance people should take the initiative by the rapid, accurate and reasonable principles, as approved loss, the claimant compensation agreement and to fulfill obligations; Insurers failure to meet these obligations, in addition to the premiums paid, should be compensated by the insured the loss of this. 

5, the principle of proximate cause 

The principle of proximate cause is the meaning of : damage results with dangerous incidents occur with a direct causal relationship, if dangerous incidents belong to the scope of liability insurance and insurance on compensation or benefits. In real life, the damage may result from a single cause or a result. Only because relatively simple, because more is more complex, mainly in the following situations :

(1) Multi-by simultaneously. If simultaneous incidents are insurance, insurers assume responsibility; If one accident insurance both also have the responsibility to remove the matter, the insurance only assume insurance losses caused by the accident. 

(2) for more consecutive. More than two consecutive disasters damage caused by the recent general (after), the most effective reasons for the immediate, if they belong to the accident insurance, the insurance payment to bear responsibility. But the result is a direct antecedent of the natural, reasonable or natural continuation of a row, as immediate past. 

(3) Multi-by intermittent occurrence. After that between the whys and not necessarily causal relationship, independent of each other. This deal with the situation alone for roughly the same, that is, all insurers as an independent risk accident insurance whether the accident to decide whether payments.
